Just like they use to do on the refridgerators.

Can't get anyone to hire you Corr... I mean Manfried? I hear Home Depot and Sears are hiring! <<Disney responds to one thing. Money. If it doesn't bring in the crowds, then it changes. All the blogs are run by Disney wannabes. Why don't y'all go help Knott's Berry Farm or Busch Gardens? They could use some serious help.>> Really? I just read a blog on Al's site about Knott's and it seems like they've done a load of refurbishing the old west theming and effects that had been falling apart ... also have a nice nighttime Peanuts themed lighting show. Actually has me thinking of visiting for the first time in 7-8 years.

It started out with the right scale as far as amount/scope of changes and now is typically barebones and won't be close to what it should/could/would have been. I don't blame WDI for that. I blame TDO and Burbank. There needs to be someone who advocates actually spending money to improve the parks. No one has the balls to do so beyond what Lasseter does at DLR. EPCOT is a great example. A park that was built to be ever-changing and focused on the future has been allowed to stagnate and grow stale because Disney simply refuses to give it the budget it should have annually to constantly be evolving and improving in ways big and small. (Oh, and no, I don't think the new dining locales are something to get excited over. They will pay for themselves immediately thanks to the scam known as the DDP!)

Tom Morris is on CarsLand - he wasn't involved in the current expansion plans.>> Yeah, I know he is on Cars. But wasn't he on Small World for HKDL before that? And didn't he control the whole resort for a while? Oh, and how much time does Bob Weis actually spend on DCA nowadays (yes, tossing this in and hoping you'll answer when I have a pretty good idea already!)
